Chapter 53: The Descent of the Tyrant

Combat Intent Value: Starts at 0, increases with the intensity of the battle, and can reach a maximum of 100 points. Once the Combat Intent Value reaches its peak, the Tyrant Form can be activated until the battle ends.
Tyrant Form: Body size increases significantly, strength and physique are increased by 50%, resistance to abnormal statuses is increased, and resistance to control effects is increased.
....
Ye Mingqiu once made a small experiment in his spare time: how to take off equipment currently being worn while the hidden equipment effect state is active, and whether it could be put away directly via mental intention.
The answer was no.
The user had to touch the equipped location with their hand before it could be stored into the space.
The reason he tried this was because before Tang Ruobing gave him the Divine Concealment Bracelet, she had tapped his wrist at an extremely subtle angle and speed. Therefore, he had harbored suspicions back then, and it was only later that they were confirmed.
Ye Mingqiu wanted to play dumb and turn a blind eye, but there was no way around it. The moment he thought about how the Divine Concealment Bracelet was most likely something she had detached from her own body and given to him, he felt an extraordinary surge of irritation.
An indescribable anger welled up within him.
Yet he could not express it.
And now, the theft of the Divine Concealment Bracelet directly awakened the fury that had been bottled up in his heart for a long time.

"Thump!"
Abruptly, a violent heartbeat sounded, deep and clear, resembling the tolling bell of doom. The S-rank Scarlet Invisibles were instantly shaken to their cores, looking at Ye Mingqiu with extreme vigilance, yet not daring to act rashly.
"Thump! Thump!..."
The loud heartbeat burst forth once more, continuous and growing increasingly surging.
Accompanied by the heartbeat, a terrifying and solid crimson aura continuously burst from within Ye Mingqiu's body, and his form grew taller and expanded at a visible rate wrapped within that blood mist.
His muscles bulged, and his bones emitted a "crack" of overwhelming yet powerful straining. The heavy-armored youth, originally only one meter seven tall, transformed in a short span of time into a giant standing three meters high, even the dimensions of his muscles swelling wildly severalfold.
"Hoo!"

A heavy and loud breathing sound rang out, akin to the roar before a volcanic eruption, filled with a pure aura of destruction. The heavy armor of the spirit realm equipment changed according to the user's bodily transformation, becoming incomparably massive, its edges appearing even more ferocious and rugged.
He resembled a war machine crawling out from hell, flowing with blood and fire.
Ye Mingqiu raised his head, his fierce and menacing gaze locking onto Yin Shuo. An immensely terrifying aura erupted abruptly, and the tide of [Killing Intent Fluctuation] directly blasted countless ordinary Scarlet Invisibles around him to their deaths. Even S-rank Scarlet Invisibles trembled in shock and were driven to despair.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other S-rank Scarlet Invisibles were mentally shocked by the [Killing Intent Fluctuation], he mercilessly crushed the limbs of the assassin-type S-rank Invisible with his iron boots, driving the blood spear deeper and more firmly to ensure that escape was impossible and that it would be directly slain by the blood spear.
Moreover, he had zero concern that any other S-rank Scarlet Invisible would take his weapon away, because....

Equipment Effect 4: Spiritual Erosion: The life source force within the blood spear possesses extremely potent erosion. When fighting while wielding the blood spear, your sanity will be subjected to erosion, making you more frenzied and bloodthirsty than usual.
Supplement 1 (Omitted) Supplement 2 (Omitted)
Supplement 3: If someone who has not gained the recognition of the weapon spirit picks up the weapon, the weapon spirit will increase the erosion intensity by more than 3 times. If the resistance check fails, base attributes and the basic health cap will be permanently reduced until death.

Want to touch my weapon?
Come and take it with your life!

Shortly after, the other several S-rank Scarlet Invisibles recovered from the mental shock effect one after another, looking with utter horror at the assassin-type S-rank Invisible whose limbs had been trampled into a pulp, with the blood spear impaled in his body, completely unable to regenerate his physique through blood energy.
The other S-rank Scarlet Invisibles were no fools; they could clearly see that the blood spear possessed some kind of ability to suppress regeneration—an ability that all S-rank Scarlet Invisibles feared.
Subsequently, Ye Mingqiu turned his gaze toward Yin Shuo, who stood at the edge of the shadows, revealing unmasked killing intent.
"Um.... Can we reach a truce?"
Yin Shuo swallowed his saliva, despair and terror shrouding his heart. Being stared at by Ye Mingqiu felt precisely like being targeted by a ferocious beast determined not to stop until it killed its prey.
Ye Mingqiu did not answer his words; instead, he crouched down, assuming a stance to build up momentum.

[Wrathful Pursuit]
A great man once said that speed is power, but this statement holds true in reverse as well. In a single-effort, purely linear sprint....
Power is speed!

"Boom!!"
Ye Mingqiu moved. The already ruined concrete ground beneath his feet became even more devastated, instantly blowing open a giant deep crater several meters in diameter. Debris scattered in all directions like cannonballs, and any unlucky Scarlet Invisible pierced by them had their heads instantly blown apart.

Ordinary Scarlet Invisibles knew they could play no role in the battle and wanted to run, but they could not, because the restrictions of the Scarlet Supreme bound them, preventing them from fleeing in all directions.
Black lightning tore across the sky, appearing before Yin Shuo in practically an instant. The linear explosive sprinting speed derived from absolute violence was simply that terrifying.
Too fast!
There was no time to react at all!
Yin Shuo's pupils trembled. By the time he realized the opponent had charged, the black gauntlet already occupied the entirety of his vision. Carrying a terrifying wind pressure that tore through the air, it struck like a tyrannical primordial beast swinging its claws, savagely slamming toward his skull.
Bad! Must run! Have to run!
Otherwise, I'll definitely die!
I don't want to die!
Yin Shuo, specializing in agility, moved desperately, his eyes bulging to the point of nearly popping out. Yet even with his mastery of speed, he could not resist the supreme velocity born from absolute might.
A legendary-class profession was, after all, benchmarked against overlord-level entities! An overlord was two tiers higher than a boss!

"Crack!"
A crisp bone-fracturing sound rang out. The massive black hand acted like a violent vise, easily crushing Yin Shuo's skull in an instant, and even using unrivaled force to violently slam him against the ruined wall behind him, painting a masterpiece stained with blood.
This was an attack utilizing physical strength; lacking the blood spear to suppress his blood energy regeneration, the blood energy within Yin Shuo's body rioted, working at full speed to repair his form. Yet, held firmly by the terrifying black gauntlet grasping his skull, he could never attain true, complete recovery.
His body struggled and kicked frantically, his hands scratching futilely at the black beast gripping his life. The dark red claws pooled with blood energy left streak after streak of scratches on the pitch-black armor, continuously emitting sharp, scraping sounds.
"I heard that S-rank Scarlet Invisibles possess immortality. Right now, I'm quite curious—just how strong is the immortality of an S-rank Scarlet Invisible?"
Ye Mingqiu retrieved the Divine Concealment Bracelet from Yin Shuo with his other giant hand, stowing it into his storage space. The massive hand gripping the other's skull continued to exert force, and crimson fluids constantly splattered across his palm, resembling an endless self-serve of juice.
He raised his other hand, clenching it into a fist. A terrifying killing intent erupted without concealment, and the gripped Yin Shuo struggled even harder.
